SHOCKING NEWS;Sunderland AFC key players ban from playing for the rest of the season due to…

Reports on Sunday have revealed that Everton boss David Moyes sent top spy Charlie Adam to watch Sunderland’s Chris Rigg, who is a player of interest for the Toffees.

The teenage sensation has been a key player for his side this season, as they currently sit comfortably inside the play-off places.

As expected with a young English talent, there are plenty of sides keeping an eye on the midfielder as we head towards the summer transfer window.

Journalist Alan Nixon revealed via his Patreon page on Sunday that Everton are the latest club to join the race for Rigg’s signature, and Moyes even sent one of his top scouts to go and watch the youngster play.

However, the £40m price-tag on Rigg’s head is reportedly putting off all interested parties.

It’s no secret that Rigg will have plenty of suitors come the summer, and a route out of Sunderland won’t be hard to find if he wishes to depart the club heading into next season.

Clubs such as Manchester United and West Ham United have already been linked with the Championship wonderkid, and the Toffees are now the latest name to add to the ever-growing list.

Nixon has reported that Everton boss Moyes is interested in bringing the Sunderland star to Bramley-Moor Docks next season, as the club welcomes an exciting new era at their all-new stadium.

Rigg has also reportedly been on the Merseyside outfit’s radar since he was a child, hence his decision to send top scout Adam to go and watch the teenager play.

However, a huge stumbling block is the fee the Black Cats are demanding for their prized asset. According to Nixon.
